Here's a simple tutorial on how I went from wet dog hood to furry black bear hood. I am just kidding, this is all fake fur, no animals were killed in the making of this tutorial!

I sported this wet dog hood all of last year, since my hubby put it in the dryer after a wash. It used to be nice and fluffy but after the dryer washing, not so much. It wasn't a big deal last year because I was wearing hats, but this year, I have been employing my hood for warmth to avoid hat hair and well, it was quite embarrassing.

I sewed the edge of the hood on my sewing machine before cutting it off. That way, the stuffing would be somewhat contained.

Wet dog fur off!

I then cut the excess stuffing so it wouldn't get in the way of sewing.

This is how it looked at this point.

I found this cute little fake fur scarf in the 99 cents store.

I measured and cut off the excess

Much better!

I then sewed the edge of the "black bear" scarf to the edge of the hood. Sorry for the cluttered photo. I was also listening to my iPod and on the computer while I sewed. Yes, I multi-task.
